RE: 427 block
By Mike McQuesten - 08/31/2001 1:24:08 AM; IP 63.50.107.67
You're right about the appearance or texture/feel on the 427 Sideoiler block, which is a C8AE original hydraulic block that Dick has modified to accept the SOHC heads, as compared to my C3AE 427 centeroiler. His block is much smoother. Mine looks like anyother early sixties FE, well, except for the obvious cross bolts and the HP cast on the side. Mine is a fairly early 427 that was cast in February of '63. I'm fortunate that it's still standard bore and crack free.

I don't know about NASCAR not allowing the 430s in '58. It never did surprise me when NASCAR would ban Ford from using anything that beat the mighty General, i.e., the SOHC. But I know my uncle had a '58 'bird, maybe it was a '59? I was just a kid of 13 when he let me drive it and I did know what a 430 was and the difference then from a FE and even the '57 M-L 368. That bird was a hard runner even with the cruisomatic.

Thanks Mel. I'll look forward to reading those materials when you're up to that techno step. Thata's something I'm working on too.
